There are several points where flows from the ocean surface to greater depths occur, inducing deep circulation. This circulation is subject to the Coriolis force, resulting in deviations and some flows towards the surface (upwelling) that are associated with surface currents.



The classic model for these currents is that of Stommel and Arons, which, although simple, explains the different depth flows observed.
